From 8-bits to 16-bits: Video game characters show off a sexier figure

Bitmob Staff Writer Samir Torres: Back in the '80s I was perfectly happy with the 8-bit graphics of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Sega Master System (SMS). Once I saw the improved visuals of the Genesis and Super Nintendo (SNES), though, it was hard to go back.

I selected 10 classic characters at random to show you how much nicer their sprites look thanks to the wider color palette of 16-bit consoles.

They need to respect and bring back more games with pixels especially updated ones which look beautiful and recognized as video games. SNK has done a beautiful job at this

You got that right. The crush is still there.

Master System Ecco is adorable.

FFVI is a timeless classic, surely one of the best games ever created.

_Decadent_Descent16d ago

I really do wish they'd give it the FF7R treatment.

phoenixwing16d ago

Ff6 is probably the most deserving for that

Cacabunga16d ago

Octopath traveller or Star Ocean remake treatment would fit it better i think

FinalFantasyFanatic15d ago

I'd rather it play more or less the same by have the 3D chibi graphics from Ever Crisis, I don't want them to change the story like they did with FF7R.

I'm really surprised this got through pending honestly, this is incredibly low effort and half the work has been done by a program.

mastershredder426d ago

Movie images?, that would mean still taken from a production, which these are not. You do know that even bots are making random ai art right? Skill level 0. Keep it on your Social media feed and wow you clueless friends. Look What I Can Do!

Top 20 Soundtracks From the 16-Bit Era

In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.

It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!

Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
